Test for an API-based special issue

  • The backend is developed with node.js and express
  • Each URL is mapped to a python script. The argument are passed to the script, processed and then returned as JSON
  • We start with 2 functions: 1. a find and replace and 2. a shout

(update: hei this is not active anymore! but we really did an API at the end! aha!)

Wait what why an API

two half bikes attacched with tape and two kids pretty satisfied with their work

This is to show what an API could be in relation to the exercises we usually do during the prototyping class. It is a way to render public a piece of work that usually stays behind several layers of accessibility. The idea of the special issue as an API could be a curated collection of what we are doing since september within a critical context. 🤯

Find and Replace

Find a target string in a text and replace it with the given replacement. The parameters are three.

  • text the text in which perform the research
  • target the string we are searching for
  • replacement the string we want to insert in place of the target

The endpoint is:
